As the massive media
campaign unfolded "The mood in the city changed
overnight" commented a daily paper in the city.
Over 3,000 people left their contact information
for further contact. There are only 1,000 members
in evangelically oriented Churches in Petrozavodsk.
The city has a population of 350,000. In one special event attended by almost 200
non church-goers all made a decision to accept Christ. There was not enough
room on stage for the crowd so it spilled over into the seating area. Response was overwhelming. Additional
phones lines at the call center were installed in the first days of the
campaign. Russian cities have never witnesses campaigns of
similar magnitude.
Follow
up to the historic POWER TO CHANGE campaign in Petrozavodsk continues. A grand 300.000
residents were reached by gospel television, radio,
newspaper articles, billboards, Church outreach, books.
Three months after Mission Petrozavodsk a small IRR-TV
team went back to the city to help with the follow up
process. A limited special event was arranged. Of the
150 non-churched people that attended all made decisions
for Jesus. That was 100% response.
It is harvest time in Russia. There is a great SPIRITUAL
THIRST in Russia today. The next special event
will be held soon. Read about changed lives. Stay tuned!
